Turn Up For Trans Youth:
Solidarity Fest for Queer Futures!

Tickets Now Available

Join us for our Artemis Pack Benefit Party! On Saturday, April 26th we are hosting an epic evening filled with queer magic, live music, dancing, glamour, and handmade elixirs, potions, and art for sale. At Artemis Pack, we provide a queer sanctuary where all participants feel supported in their gender journeying and self-discovery. On this special evening, we invite you to come along for a wild ride and feel into the magic we conjure in Artemis Pack and beyond. This is an outdoor event and family friendly until 9pm (afterwards kids are welcome to stay, but it will be more dance party vibe). All proceeds go to the Artemis Pack scholarship fund! â€‹â€‹

MISSiON

The Wild Ride is an artist and healers collective dedicated to shifting the paradigms of this dimension and beyond. Through queer frameworks of play, creative expression, and magic, we actively divest from oppressive systems and redirect that energy into mutually supported + regenerative systems of care.​

It is wonderful to have caring, queer adult role models for my kid.

Mira loves being part of a community that is open and non-judgmental when she's at (what feels like) a critical point in the process of exploring and expressing her individuality.
